Spoke to two potential clients this week: both said they refused to speak to “agencies” or fractional collectives.

They both said they’d prefer to work with a fractional as a contractor rather than as a consulting firm.

Anyone else run into this?

The "Fractional" space has exploded.

But so many people hop on the trend without having a clear value proposition.

They think "I can do this. Why not?"

The reality is:

To get traction, you need to be the best at what you do.

Don't be a generalist, be a specialist.

The best way to get clients isn't running ads.

It's positioning yourself as the go-to expert in one, very specific thing.

The biggest problem with most consulting agencies:

They think they sell a service.

No, you don't.

You sell a result.

Find the result that your clients want and then reverse engineer what services you need to deliver to get them there.

Mistaken by many, fractional executives aren't desperate for clients.

They're desperate for the right clients.

This is why they win.

The 3 levels of Fractional work:

1) Consultant: You "do" the work.
2) Advisor: You "give advice" on what should be done.
3) Fractional: You "lead the implementation" of what you advise.

Most consultants don't know this.

But there's a simple way to make more money:

- Do not sell time.
- Sell your expertise.

This is why we love the fractional model.

It allows us to sell our expertise and get paid what we're truly worth.

[The Fractional Leap @fractionalleap]

You can be the best consultant in the world but if you're not good at selling, you'll never get clients.
